Why is there no actual network connection overview any more? It's a major feature !!!

As a longtime user/customer since the days of "Tiny"- / "Kerio"- / "Sunbelt"- and now VIPRE-Firewall I'm totally disappointed with the feature-drain happening to a once great product suite.

Why on earth did you remove the real time connection overview from a security product were "time to information" is paramount in case of suspicious things going on ???

You polished the UI-Design to a "Dummies guide to security by obscurity" and by that also cut back on useful features.

Now one has to go back and use other tools to clumsily go hunting root causes or checking configurations which was really easy with the connection overview in the same place as the firewall-config.

And please, don't refer to "you can always check the logs" because this is no equivalent by any measure - I want "WYSIWON" (What You See Is What's On the Net) as integral feature back.

Logs go only so far and need careful setup to find the right things, so you have to know what you are looking for and cannot analyze on the fly what could be of interest.

Frankly, it hurts to see VIPRE become more and more worthless as a security product and I really hope you reconsider bringing back the good stuff again.

Please let me know if you plan to make VIPRE as attractive again as it was,

best regards

Roman

These capabilities are also the main reason I have been a loyal customer for many more years than I'd like to admit. But since GFI took over, they are destroying an extremely good program and quite frankly are a breath away from loosing this loyal customer forever!! Goodbye Vipre, hello Kaspersky, AVG, etc..

I also support Roman statement.

It is sad (to say the least) that useful, but technical features are being removed in the name of "simplicity" only because they are confusing for the "Average Joe". Nowadays it seems that "Average Joes" get confused for anything, so let's remove ALL advanced features in software.Sad news guys: that won't stop the "Average Joes" from getting into trouble, fooling themselves into a perceived sense of safety just because they HAVE AN ANTIVIRUS RUNNING (I often fix friends computers that despite antivirus are full of malware/crapware). So, never mind that "Average Joes" can't save themselves anyway: let's tie down the hands of those who could do something about it; that way we will ALL BE SAFER!!!Smart...

The customer response is deplorable/non existent. No one answers the phone anymore. The awful UI is a distraction from how poor the product has become.

I have been using the products since it was Counterspy. I am thoroughly disgusted.
